Yes there is a command line called piklab-prog. The settings
still needs to be done in the GUI mode piklab.

I think the codes to support dsPICs are there for ICD2. There
may be some bugs but you can submit the bug report to the
author (Nicolas). He is fast in fixing bugs. So far my testing
is more on PICkit 2 and ICD2 support of 12F/16F/18F device. It
would be nice that you can do the testing for the dsPICs you have.

I think it should but I have not tried dsPICs yet with piklab.

Not yet and you could do it for Debian/Ubuntu. Thanks.
